Integrated urban regeneration

Multilevel coordination

FosterREG aims at enhancing public capacity at local, regional and national levels to plan, finance and manage integrated urban regeneration for sustainable energy uptake, through capacity building, promotion and articulation of effective multilevel coordination, and national as well as European network strengthening.

FosterREG at Sustainable Energy Week

FosterREG project will be represented by Patricia Molina (TECNALIA) at the Sustainable Energy Week on the 15th June 2016 at session:

INTER-DISCIPLINARY WORKING FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS IN URBAN AREAS

FosterREG together with URBAN LEARNING project and two completed IEE projects, LEAP and SPECIAL are all concerned with the integration of sustainable energy in urban areas with other professional disciplines, such as spatial planning, as well as vertical and horizontal integration at different governance levels. The projects have involved peer-to-peer working, stakeholder groups, community groups, professional organisations, politicians and other networks, and identified ways to break down some of the barriers between all these different interests to enable cooperative and integrated working. We hope to share our experiences and future ambitions with the EUSEW audience.

The four projects will present on multi-disciplinary learning and the integration of spatial planning and other professions to improve urban regeneration for sustainable energy uptake. Multi-governance models, case studies, training materials, expert papers, methodologies and innovative governance will be presented to stimulate creative thinking in local authorities across Europe. This joint session targets local authorities to better understand the need for integration to meet challenging carbon reduction targets.
